I've always been a big fan of The Slayer OCC, from Mystic Russia. Not only is it an interesting and fun class, but the illustration is so fitting.

I'm fond of the old version of Cyber-Knights (pre-SoT) and Undead Slayers.

Dog Boys (Killhounds)

I like that one too, probably in my top 5 easily.


I also like Wilderness Scouts/Ranger's, along with tech oriented classes.

Without a doubt, the Headhunter is mine. Preferrably the R:UE version, or the Techno-Warrior or Techno-Hound from Canada.

The Gifted One from the Mystic Russia WB. I ended up with more exp than anyone else by playing in character and for putting my life on the line saving not only my party members, but NPC's and NPC villians.

Rouge Scholar w/ super powers .

Overall, probably Crazy. But not the ha ha giggles sort of crazy. The "Oh look, people for dinner, and we have farva beans.... do come in." kinda crazy.

As the books came along I rather liked the paratrooper class. Not so much for the paratroop type but it was finally a class that looked 'special forces' to me.

Also fond of the Cyberknights, and Free Quebec stuff.

I also like Dbees very much and will play them even if they only get RCC stuff.

I like the Battle Magus, particularly since they can take the Combat Mage spells from Mercenary Adventures.

Mind Melter followed by the Ninja Juicers from Japan.

Operator, followed by Techno-wizard and the Bounty Hunter

If I had to pick just one, I would say City Rat.

Recently I played a faerie bot d-bee and that was a lot of fun.

Ley line walker, Mind melter, normal juicer and Anti-Monster.

Palladium Summoner; Shifters suck!

LLWs are win though.

When playing a human, I enjoy the Techno Wizard.

When playing an SDC D-Bee race, I like wilderness types.

When playing an MDC D-Bee, I really like T-Men like the Undead Slayer or Hatchling Chiang-Ku.

If given my choice of anything to play, I would probably choose a Human Maxi Man.

Undeniably, Shifter

I like the ability to travel and bring my friends along for the ride.

Neo-Human - All the ****** of a Mind melter and then some with the option of going hand to hand with a Gargoyle and pummeling it by pure brute force.

Lord Magus - Other spellcasters use magic, this one becomes one with magic.

I love Battle Magus, but would love it more if it wasn't so loaded with errors.

Cyberknight. A Classic.

The Ley Line Walker. Another classic.

I love Glitter Boys. I don't know why. There's something about Boom Guns that just says "Ohh, yeah!"

Knight of the White Rose, and even the Reconciler.

Paratrooper

Gladiator

Cyber Samurai

Totem Warrior

Gunfighter

Tundra Ranger (Though if you're really going to do this, you should play a Coalition Brown Bear Boy, wear the old Mountie hat, and call yourself Smokey)

Mystic Kuznya

Geofront Powered Armor Soldier (Can't remember the actual name)

Spoiling Witch
Gypsy Fortune Teller
Shifter
Necromancer
Merc Pilot

My favorite classes are the ones that don't die in the first combat...

But honestly? I've never had one. I tend to create characters after I figure out what everyone else is playing and then pick something that will round out the ground.

Though...I do have some soft spots for the Kuznya and the Adarok...

For me I'd go with:

Mind Melter
Techno-Wizard
Shifter
Crazy
Psi-Warrior
Mamamo Head Hunter (Burster)
Smoker or Battle Magus

The slayer from Rifts Russia, because nothing beats kicking some ass and then going to the closest town for a nice bowl of Porsche.

The Zapper since it's main focus is telekinesis and electricity, which can be fun.

The Robot Pilot O.C.C. Ever since I got my copy of Chaos Earth I've been in love with the Bull Dog and constantly beg my GM to let me pilot one.

The Leyline walker is my fourth favorite, and the last one in my top five is the Shifter, because playing with demons is fun (especially nightwinds).

Surviving in Rifts as an adventurer can be interesting. Naturally the occupation of mercenary and adventurer usually includes looking for trouble, but another part is looking for trouble that wont completely kick the crap out of the characters.

When I start most of my games off, I almost always go after Xiticix first, as they are somewhat low powered mdc monsters and as you get more experience you just go a little deeper into the hive land. Plus the bounties on Xiticix heads is pretty good, especially if the characters fighting the xiticix are somewhat self sufficient like leyline walkers or psychics.

Vagabonds rock, bro! They're my favourite class.

I made a minor-psionic Vagabond who was a short order cook in a greasy spoon diner in the Pecos. His psionic powers: "Telekinesis" and "Impervious to Fire", a necessity when working in any shady kitchen.

But honestly, what's better than playing just a regular dude trying to survive against all odds?

Adventurer (normal guy):
Rogue Scientist or Operator

CS:
Nullifier (the ultimate CS Trooper...)

-Achilles Neo-Human best race in the entire game, but I'm a Jedi fan so I'm impartial.
-Monster Hunter I just love the idea of turning into a monsters and going into their ranks to spy on them.
-Shifter controlling demons now that's fun!
-Mystic Knights not as friendly as the TV show!
-Cyber Knights after the update they sure got interesting.
-Master Bloodrider good powers and it's comes with really entraining companion.
-Mega Juicer is your going to be one go mega!
-Dreadguards & Outrider are great, but the GM should urge the player pick upgrades less for combat and more for storytelling and versatility.
-Holy Terror comes in handy sometimes even with their drawbacks.

Of the mundane classes I really like the Paratrooper, Glitter Boy Pilot, Gunslinger and the Techologist from Australia is my kind of mechanic.
